I will be visiting Malta in May 2012.. as I am not a good swimmer but I wish to go snorkeling. Is life jacket provided during snorkeling trips? Could you recommend some places to do snorkeling as well? Thanks folks :)
Most official snorkelling/diving places will have flotation devices available if you ask ..if you like and want to pay then someone from the dive team will swim along with you which can be helpfull as they will be able to name all the fish that you are seeing and point things out that you might otherwise miss I have never been but good things are often said in diving circles of Aquatica snorkelingmalta.com/index.as...

Malta hosts remarkable snorkeling from the islands' shores throughout most of the year. The sparkling waters and beautiful beaches draw people back to these shores year after year. It's the calmness of these waters and their crystal clarity that make this an ideal destination for snorkelers. Rocky coasts turn into caves and caverns under the water creating a fantastic topography to explore. The sea surrounding the island is nearly tide-less and the visibility can easily be 30 and 40 meters in depth. At St. Paul's Bay, not far from Millieha Bay, the Aquatic Diving and Fishing Centre offers classes for individuals over 7 to help maximize your snorkeling experience. As well, they offer 2-hour guided snorkeling tours that are prefaced with an equipment briefing, some information about the underwater environment and, of course, safety procedures. The Maltese Islands are an ideal location to explore underwater photography because of the clear, still waters. The flora and fauna are a beautiful backdrop to smaller varieties of fish: stone fish, cuttlefish, urchins, octopi, scorpion fish, parrot fish, and moray eels. Small and well camouflaged sea horses will often be spotted by slow moving, patient snorkelers. On a good day, you may also see turtles a bit off shore. With English the official second language on the these islands, you’ll get on quite well if you speak it!

you can basically snorkel everywhere in Malta even in busy area like St Julians and SLiema. The water is really clear all around the island and you will see a lot : cuttlefish, baracuda, seabass and even turtles ! Just dont go after a heavy rain as the water will be dirty for the next 2 days and be carefull of the jellyfish !
